“The Georgian Technical University allowed me to turn my calling - environmental protection - into a profession and to be constantly in search of ways to improve my profession. I am proud to have been a scholarship holder of the Professor Eristavi chair’s founder,” says Anna Berezhiani, Doctor of Chemical and Biological Engineering, graduate of the GTU Faculty of Chemical Technology and Metallurgy, Head of the Chemical Substances Management Division of the Ministry of Environmental Protection and Agriculture.

Anna Berezhiani completed all three levels of higher education - Bachelor's degree (2007), Master's degree (2009), and Doctoral degree (2017) - at the Georgian Technical University, Faculty of Chemical Technology and Metallurgy. She was elected twice to the UN, first as Vice-President of the Bureau of the Stockholm Convention “On Persistent Organic Pollutants”, and secondly as President of the Bureau of the Rotterdam Convention on the “Prior Informed Consent Procedure for Certain Hazardous Chemicals and Pesticides in International Trade”.



“The experience and education I received at the Georgian Technical University have served me well not only internationally and at work but also in my everyday life. I want students to know that being a part of the Georgian Technical University means being part of the category of people who call themselves engineers or technologists, regardless of their professional field. University graduates are united by a certain vision, with which we seek and find different ways to solve various problems and issues.

I would advise applicants who are particularly fond of exact and natural sciences to choose the Georgian Technical University because in this direction it is the first, most experienced higher educational institution of engineering and technological profile in Georgia, where high-class teachers work, in every way to support you in your professional development and advancement. I would especially like to mention the scientific library of the Georgian Technical University, one of the largest in Georgia. It includes unique scientific literature, which I have used during my studies. I believe that if they choose the GTU, future students will have every opportunity to master the desired profession for future self-realization,” says Anna Berezhiani.

For information, Georgian Technical University is one of the leading and largest higher educational institutions. It includes 13 faculties, which study about 22 thousand students. Since 2020 the post of rector of the university has been held by Academician David Gurgenidze.

For its great contribution to the development of engineering and technological fields and science, Catholicos-Patriarch of All Georgia Ilia II awarded the Georgian Technical University with the highest award of the Georgian Orthodox Church - the St. George’s Golden Order. 

The Georgian Technical University (GTU), formerly known as the Georgian Polytechnic Institute, was founded in 1922. The first lecture was delivered by famous mathematician and professor Andria Razmadze. The current name and status of the university were granted in 1990.
